What It’s About:
The series follows Christine Marie, a cult expert, and her husband Tolga Katas (a filmmaker) as they secretly infiltrate a dangerous polygamist cult in Arizona. They pose as documentary filmmakers to get close to Samuel Bateman — a self-proclaimed “prophet” who claims to be the successor of Warren Jeffs in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS).
What they captured on camera is deeply disturbing: extreme psychological control, child abuse, sexual exploitation, and the terrifying reality inside a modern-day cult.
